That night.
A certain restaurant in Caiyou Town was booked by Xiaozhi and his group.
Of course, he didn't have much money, but as the winner of the alliance conference, the official gave him a free celebration banquet, including all kinds of chefs, waiters and delicious food.
At this moment, Xiaozhi's family and friends were enjoying the joyful moment after the battle.
Xiaozhi even invited his previous opponents, including Xiaoyao's family, and Mr. Qianli and his party to the banquet.
"Xiaozhi, I won't lose to you next time."
"Xiaozhi, I won't lose to you next time."
As a result, every opponent who touched the cup with Xiaozhi repeated the same sentence, which made Xiaozhi feel numb from the challenge.
At this time, a short old man walked in with a white beard.
Although he looks old, his expression is very rosy and fresh, and he even wears his hat backwards on his head in a fashionable manner.
It is the chairman of the Alliance Assembly, Damaranch.
After chatting with Dr. Oak and reminiscing about old times, Damaranch pulled Xiaozhi aside and talked quietly.
...
"Xiaozhi, you are planning to challenge Mikri this time, right...?"
He came up and asked straight to the point.
Xiaozhi nodded quickly, his eyes bright.
He was still wondering during the day. According to his experience at the Silver Conference, when he won, he launched a challenge to Tenwang Rika on the spot.
As a result, this Caiyou Conference ended immediately after it ended, leaving him no chance to challenge at all.
"Don't worry, everything has been arranged... You challenged Mikri before he told me."
Damaranch said with a smile, even he had prepared the publicity in advance.
He also believed that Xiaozhi could win the game without any suspense.
"But this time you are challenging for the league championship... Since you are not the king now, even if you win, you cannot replace it."
Damaranch thought it was better to explain the rules first, for fear that Xiaozhi might misunderstand them.
"So this battle can only be an exhibition match... Even if you win, you can't become a champion trainer."
There is the title of "King Trainer", but there is no title of "Champion Trainer".
After all, most people climb up the ladder step by step. How can anyone like Xiaozhi leap over the king and directly challenge the champion.
"It doesn't matter, as long as I can fight Mr. Mikri!!"
Xiaozhi said quickly.
It's all a false name anyway, even if it really makes him a league champion... he's not willing to stay in one place all the time.
"It would be great if you could understand..."
Ramalanci then said with a smile:
"Then this battle will be at 9 o'clock in the morning the day after tomorrow. As for the number of elves participating, it will be a single battle between four of six. As a rule...what do you think?"
"Choose four out of six?"
Xiaozhi was stunned for a moment. This seemed to be the rules of the game in the early stages of the Caiyou Conference.
Six versus six does seem a bit long, but choosing four from six will neither seem trivial nor too cumbersome...
"Okay, let's choose four out of six!"
Xiaozhi agreed immediately.
Mikri is a water-type Pokémon. Now, he needs to think carefully about his lineup.
Since the opponent is the champion, he will naturally not be polite. The electric-type Dianzhu and Pikachu are both going to play...
...
"And one more thing."
At this time, Damaranch suddenly spoke, interrupting Xiaozhi's thoughts.
"I wonder where you will go next after finishing your trip to the Fangyuan area?"
"Next?"
Xiaozhi looked at Damaranch in confusion, wondering why the latter suddenly asked this.
However, Damaranch can be regarded as his elder, so Xiaozhi quickly answered truthfully:
"Next, I should go to the development zone..."
As I said before, I want to challenge Mr. Jindai there.
"Are you going to fight in the development zone? It's a good place... but it can be completed in two months at most. So where do you plan to go next?"
Damaranch asked with a somewhat expectant look.
"Next? Well... I haven't decided where to go next."
Xiaozhi shook his head. His script currently only covers the battle in the development area.
The next step may be to find a new area and start a new adventure.
"Then you will continue to challenge the gym and collect badges...?"
Damaranch asked again.
This question made Xiaozhi confused.
With his current strength, it would be somewhat meaningless to collect badges, challenge gyms, and participate in alliance conferences.
After all, in this Caiyou Tournament, the only one who could make him react was Yuuki. The other players really didn't have any difficulty.
But he is still very keen on the opportunity to challenge the king and the championship at the end of the league conference.
if...
"It would be great if we could skip the foreplay and directly challenge the strong man standing at the top, right?"
Xiaozhi was thinking about it when he was suddenly read out by Damaranch in front of him, which shocked him.
Indeed, if there is such a way, it would be the most perfect!
Seeing that Guanzi was almost sold, Damaranch said in a deep voice:
"Then let me give you a suggestion. Next, go to the Sinnoh region."
"Sinnoh region?"
Xiaozhi was stunned. He seemed to have heard of this area before...but he didn't know much.
Before he could ask, Damaranch had already taken the lead and asked:
"Speaking of Xiaozhi, do you know that there is a position called "Inspector" in the Pokémon League?"
"Inspector?"
This seemed to be the first time he heard this word.
"Yes, the Alliance Inspector specializes in monitoring whether the operating mechanism of each gym meets the standards specified by the Pokémon Alliance, as well as whether the content of the gym leader's challenge and his personal attitude are up to standard."
Damaranch explained, and now Ash understood.
Because Xiaogang was complaining to him a while ago.
It was said that a Miss Joy came to challenge her at the Nebi Gym at home...it turned out to be the Pokémon inspector who inspected whether the gym was up to standard.
Generally, this kind of people will travel in casual clothes, so as not to reveal their identity, and strive to see the most authentic appearance of the gym.
Xiaogang's father Wu Neng happened to be on a long trip that day, and his eldest brother was guarding the gymnasium, which almost capsized the boat.
Fortunately, his younger brother was also determined to protect the gym from Miss Joy.
"So does this have anything to do with me?"
Xiaozhi asked confusedly.
"Of course it's related..."
Damaranch's eyes were fixed, staring straight at Xiaozhi, and finally asked in a deep voice:
"Xiaozhi, I wonder if you are willing to become a special inspector in three months and go to the Sinnoh region to review whether the gym there is still eligible to continue to open...?"
